We had a good experience staying at Michelle's apartment in Sathon district in Bangkok. The unit is in a building with many others units, but they were mostly empty at the time. The room and bathroom was clean, had windows for natural sunlight, and wifi was spot-on. There was also cable TV but we didn't spend too much time watching that. There is also a fridge, sink, microwave and iron in the unit, and a coin operated washer, dryer and detergent on the ground floor which was very handy. The bed is comfy and towels were provided.

The apartment is located about 100m from the main road. Most taxis won't drive in so you may need to walk you luggage. Not a big deal. We thought it would be sketchy at night, however it was well lit was not a problem. However, the apartment is not located in a big tourist area, which could be a good or bad thing. As a result, you do need to take the transit to many locations around the city. Luckily, the train station (BTS sky train) is not far away (15 min walk) and there is also river boat right beside BTS station that can get you to the major sites fairly quickly. Taxis are also very cheap in Bangkok (not tut-tuts) so you can get around fairly easily. There are some decent eating options along the major street, but they don't always open early in the morning so it might be worth keep some food in the room to eat for breakfast. There is also a mall and greater food options nears the BTS station. The Wat Yana Buddhist temple is the main attraction that's walking distance and definitely something to check out.

Michelle welcomed us and gave us a general overview of the neighborhood which was very helpful. She was very responsive over phone when we needed to contact her.
